AIMS has announced its first IPMX Product Testing and Certification Event.
Scheduled to take place at the Geneva headquarters of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) next month, the inaugural event will enable manufacturers to complete formal certification of products built to the Internet Protocol Media Experience (IPMX) specifications for professional media over IP.
The open IPMX standards and specifications aim to extend the reach of ST 2110-based media transport and NMOS-based control across a broader range of markets, including Pro AV, live events, corporate media, education, and beyond. Features include support for compressed video, simplified system timing, HDCP, and system profiles to make deployment more practical and scalable.
Over the last year, the Alliance for IP Media Solutions (AIMS), the Video Services Forum (VSF) and the Advanced Media Workflow Association (AMWA) have collaborated on technical preparation sessions, plug fests and test-suite developments to establish the foundation for IPMX certification standards. Products that are certified will be authorised to carry IPMX branding to signify compliance and adherence to the published TR-10 series of specifications.
Sam Recine, IPMX Pro AV working group chair at AIMS, said, “We’re deeply proud and excited to host this event along with our partners from VSF, AMWA, and EBU. Certification is an essential step for any open standard that promises interoperability across vendors. This event is where IPMX moves from theory into practice. The products tested in Geneva will be the first to demonstrate verified compliance with the IPMX specifications.”
The event will take place January 19th–23rd, 2026.
